This term, found only in the letters of John, describes anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ, the unique Son of God (1 John 2:22). John and other NT writers may also have foreseen the appearance of one particular “antichrist” in the end times. The “man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:3–4) may have been that person.
